A couple of weeks ago, we had the privilege of visiting with Chieftainess Mwenda. She is the chief over Chikankata, an area located about 2 hours south of Lusaka. Chikankata consists of many different villages accounting for approximately 20,000 families (approximately 100,000 people). A majority of these families are unreached and have no active evangelical churches. The Chieftainess is a vibrant believer who has a heart to see her kingdom evangelized and churches planted.
During our meeting, she expressed a desire for Action Zambia to help her in this effort. We don't know exactly what God has in store, but we are stepping out in faith and seeing how He will respond. During the first week of December, we are taking a group of pastors from our Pastors College and Discipleship programs for an outreach event that should last 3-4 days. The plan is to go down there and camp on a piece of property that was donated to Action Zambia. During the days, we will be visiting many remote villiages (some that have never even seen white people). In the evenings, we will be trying to show The Jesus Film.
Please join us as we begin to pray for this outreach event. Pray for the missionaries who will be leading the trip. Pray for the pastors who will be accompanying us. And pray for these people we will be sharing with during our time down there. Pray that God would open the eyes and ears of many to come to a saving knowledge of His Son Jesus Christ! Pray also for the Chieftainess. It is very difficult being a believer and a chief here in Zambia. She faces many challenges in ruling her kingdom.
